Adopted by voice vote, with dissent recorded in the minutes. A voice vote records the outcome, not individual positions, but a member can ask to be recorded in the negative in the minutes. Councillor Craig A. Kelley did (minutes of Apr 22, 2019, p. 30). Showing the other members who cast recorded votes at this meeting.
